• Partner with carriers (UPS/USPS/FedEx) and downstream recyclers
• Lead, train, and hold accountable a small operations team
• Own weekly KPIs: revenue, margin, throughput, inventory, safety, and data handling
• Improve systems, layout, and processes to keep materials moving efficiently
• Provide clear reporting to the franchise owner and escalate issues early

Competencies / Requirements

• 2–5+ years of operations leadership experience (warehouse, logistics, recycling, resale, manufacturing, or similar)
• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong ownership mentality
• Proven people management experience (hiring, training, performance management)
• Comfortable owning KPIs and running day-to-day operations independently
• Basic to intermediate understanding of financials and projections (revenue, margin, labor vs. output)
• Tech-comfortable (inventory systems, dashboards, eCommerce tools a plus)
• Valid driver’s license; ability to lift and move materials as needed
• Flexible schedule to support pickups, shipping days, and peak volume

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience with e-waste, recycling, resale, or scrap operations
• Familiarity with eBay, Amazon, or other resale platforms
• Forklift or warehouse equipment experience
